Bear ducked and didn't get hit by the rock, quite narrowly as she had a good arm, then whistled to Franny. Franny loped back to him, wagging her tail and panting, Look what I found, she seemed to say. Bear clipped the leash on Franny and ventured closer to the stallion and Alexis. He didn't speak, even though Alexis had spoken to him. He only studied the stallion.
